Purpose of Data Processing

We process personal data for the following purposes:

• Providing and operating the Carrd Navbar Builder
• User authentication and account management
• Saving and managing navbar configurations
• Processing subscriptions and one-time purchases
• Managing user entitlements and access rights
• Improving functionality and usability
• Ensuring platform security and preventing abuse
• Responding to support requests and communication
• Analysing website and application usage

Legal Basis for Processing

Where Swiss data protection law applies, we process personal data only where permitted by applicable law. Where the GDPR applies, the legal basis depends on the purpose of processing:

• Contract performance: providing the Carrd Navbar Builder, user accounts, saved navbars, generated-code access, subscriptions, one-time purchases, and support.
• Legal obligation: accounting, tax, VAT, bookkeeping, compliance, and legally required retention.
• Legitimate interest: platform security, fraud prevention, abuse prevention, service improvement, technical operations, and necessary business administration.
• Consent: analytics, marketing communication, and optional cookies or tracking technologies where consent is required.

Authentication & User Accounts

Authentication is handled through Supabase Auth. Supported authentication methods may include:

• Google OAuth
• Microsoft OAuth
• Email/password authentication
• Email confirmation and password reset flows

Supabase access tokens are validated server-side and are not permanently stored in the application database. After successful validation, the application creates an internal session using a secure session cookie.

We may send service-related emails such as account confirmations, password resets, billing notifications, authentication-related communication, or support messages.

Cookies & Sessions

The application uses cookies required for authentication and session management.

Session Cookie

The Carrd Navbar Builder uses a session cookie named:

carrd_navbar_builder_session

This cookie:

• stores an opaque session token
• does not contain Supabase access tokens
• is used for authentication and security purposes
• expires automatically after a defined period

Cookies may also be used for analytics and functionality purposes.

Where analytics or optional cookies are used, they are only used where permitted by applicable law and, where required, after consent. Users can manage or withdraw cookie and analytics consent through the consent controls provided on the website, if available, and may also block or delete cookies through their browser settings. Please note that disabling required cookies may affect application functionality.

Google Analytics

This website may use Google Analytics to better understand how visitors use the website and application.

Google Analytics may collect information such as:

• visited pages
• session duration
• browser information
• approximate geographic region
• device information

Google Analytics may use cookies and similar technologies.

Data processed by Google may be transferred to servers outside Switzerland or the European Union.

If Google Analytics is active, users can opt out or manage analytics consent through the website's consent controls, where available. Users may also use browser settings, privacy extensions, or Google's available opt-out tools to limit analytics tracking.

Additional information can be found in Google's Privacy Policy.

Google Fonts

The website and legal embeds may load the Manrope font from Google Fonts. When Google Fonts are loaded from Google's servers, technical information such as the user's IP address, browser information, and requested font files may be transmitted to Google.

Payments & Billing

Payments, subscriptions, checkout, and billing functionality are handled through Stripe.

Stripe may process:

• payment information
• billing addresses
• transaction information
• subscription status
• customer identifiers

We only store billing-related information necessary to manage purchases and subscriptions.

Payment card details are processed directly by Stripe and are never stored on our servers.
